Week 1 news centers on James Cook’s status after an injury scare in Buffalo’s clash with Baltimore. Cook left the blue medical tent early, logged four carries for 10 yards, then returned to the field. His status remains uncertain, creating a potential Bills backfield by-committee situation if he’s limited or sidelined. If Cook can’t go, Ray Davis and Ty Johnson would be the primary beneficiaries, elevating their late-round or DFS appeal in this matchup.
The update stream emphasizes that Cook did return to action, but fantasy managers will need to monitor practice reports and in-game updates. The dynamic impact on Buffalo’s run game and Kevin or Josh Allen’s volume could shift the entire game script against a stout Ravens defense, making Cook's health pivotal for Week 1 projections.
In short, Cook’s health directly affects Bills’ ground plan and the value of Davis/Johnson as sneaky fantasy plays. Stay tuned for the latest, as even a partial workload could keep Buffalo’s offense in a favorable game-flow against Baltimore.
